McLean, VA — Alison Friedman today released the following statement in response to the news that the Richmond-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals nullified a key permit for Atlantic Coast Pipeline, which could halt constuction.

"‪I have always been unequivocally opposed to the construction of these pipelines, which endanger not only our environment, but disproportionately affect communities of color," Friedman said. "This is a huge victory for the Union Hill community and all Virginians."
